[6] Heptifíli: ‘hæptisíli’ A, ‘[…]eptifilí’ B, ‘hepti filí’ 744ˣ
[6] Heptifíli: So 744ˣ. Ms. B has ‘[…]ptifili’ and the LaufE mss Heptipili, in which the second <p> must be a misreading of an original <f>, as is the long <s> in the A variant ‘hæptisili’. For Heptifíli, cf. Fíli above and hepti n. ‘haft, handle’. The meaning of the name is unclear; possibly of one who uses a file with a handle, according to Gould (1929, 948), but that is unlikely (see Note to l. 1 above). In this form the name is also attested in Gylf (SnE 2005, 16), while Vsp 13/3 (NK 3) instead of a cpd gives two names, Hepti, Víli (Hefti Fíli in Hb 1892-6, 189).
